A QUARREL WITH HIS SWEETHEART AT THE BOTTOM
OF YOUNG BONDS SUICIDE

A QUARREL WITH HIS SWEETHEART AT THE BOTTOM
OF YOUNG BONDS SUICIDE.
The New York Herald to-day says: The body OF
George Gorham Bond, the young man who shot
himself in the head at the Gilsey House early on
Sunday morning, and who died at the New York
Hospital on the afternoon OF the same day, was
taken TO Boston on sunday evening by his uncle,
A. c. Huidekoper, OF Meadvile, Pa. The remains
OF the suicide Will be inferred at Jamaica Plain a
suburb or Boston, where he lived. The boy was
lOvesick and troubled in mind over the difficulties
beSetting the course OF affection OF himself and
young woman in Jamaica Plain and knew OF no
better way out OF his troubles than blowing out
his brains. Among the letters which he wrote
just prior 10 the successful attempt upon his life
were two or three addressed TO his 1namorata.
Coroner Nugent withhOlds the name OF the young
woman In question, on account or the unpleasant
publicity which might result TO her and
her family. She Is known, however, to be
very pretty girl, as photograph which was
found III Bonds room at the Giisey, attests,
and TO have excellent family Connections.
Bond himself was well-connected and Is said TO
have been possessed OF ample means. He was
student In the veterinary department or Harvard
Coilege, and was TO have graduated January next.
His uncle, Mr.. HuidekOper, only last week offered
him an opportunity to go Into business with him
In the West IL Is reported that In addition TO his
love troubles Bond imagined that he had heart
disease and other serious maiadeS, ana that a
knowledge OF these facts helped to determine him
In his suicidal course. HIS physicians, however
ha1 assured him That there was no reason Tor his
belief that he was sufferer from organic disease.

A CLERGYMANS PRETTY DAUGHTER CAUSES A SENSA-
TON IN A NEW YORK TOWN.
At Niagara Falls, N. Y, considerable excite
ment has been caused by the elOpement Of David
LittlejOhn, full-breed Tuscarora Indian, with
Pauline, the daughter Of the Rev. Gustav
Schwitzer, OF Swarmsville, Erie County. The girl
who is only seventeen, Is good looking blonde, well
educated, but she has never been away from home.
She met LitteJohn last summer on Goat Island,
having come there with an excursion. The Indian
scraped an acquaintance and assisted her to ind
her friends He told her he was Spaniard and
was guest at the Prospect House. He visited her
repeatedly at SwarmSville, and last week she left
her home, met him at TOnawanda, and they went to
Hamilton and were married The Indian and his
white bride returned to Swarmsv1lle on Thursday
to be forgiven, but the relatives of the girl would
not liSten and the Swarmvillians turned out and
beat the redskin within an inch Of his life. The
girl then refused to give him up, and even though
she understood that she had been duped, still In
sisted that she loved him. Plans were made to
give Lttiejohn coat OF tar and feathers Saturday
night, but he 1ed the settlement and his where
abouts are unknown. He took the marriage GER
tiicate with him. Her parents believe the girl
was imposed on by mock marriage. The girl
was locked in her room on account Of threats to
follow her duSky husband. LttlejOhn has made
some money by raising fighting cocks and dispos-
ing Of them TO Toronto sports. Like most OF his
race however, he is shirtless and very fond OF fire.

Liquor and Love the Causes.
AN INCREASE OF OVER FIFTY PER CENT IN CRIME
IN PHILADELPHIA.


IN PHILADELPHIA.
The record OF crime in Philadelphia during the
present year shows an increase Of 80 per cent over
that OF the previous year. The suicides to date
exceed the whole number In 1886, and the crime of
infantcide shows the striking gain or 20 per cent
Coroner AShbridge was sked to explain taiS sur
prising increase In crime, and in reply he said:
"LiluOr and love are the two leading producers
OF crime and these TWO items in the death rate OF
great city bear q close relation TO those causes
Oh course, there are other motives pure Vicious
ness and cupidity in the homicides ana de5pond-
ency from lack OF employment and sickness and
trouble In the suicides, but nearly all be traced
10 one OF the two causes. For infanticide5 the
number discovered Is so infiniteSmal with the
thousands committed every year that they really
form but poor data on which 10 judge an increase
But The startling fact that the number or murders
suicides and InfantcideS has advanced to a Strik-
Ing degree cannot be gainsaid. And a glance over
the record viii show many curious features ia sud-
den dea tbs today"

GEN. PAINE's KxPEDIENT TO TRIM THE VOLUNTEER
BEFORE COMING TO THE RACE.
New York World special from Boston, Decem-
Der IL. says: Gen. Paine just before starting for
New York to take part In the trial races found
that the Volunteer could take on board several
more tons OF ballast. 1t was desirable TO get the
ballast as low inside as possible, and something
that would I'LL up all the spaces and still stow away
low and sOlldly. The general purchased the ma
teral, and, by arrangement, the ballast arrived at
Lawey's yard after the wOrkmen had LEFT for the
day. There were quite number Of small boxes
on the wagon, all labeled cement" Capt. Han
at once set the men at work In getting the cement"
ballast on board the volunteer. They thought the
cement was quite heavy. for although the bOxes
were less than a foot square IL was about as much
as any one Of the sturdy tars wanted do to ham
die one. 1t was well into the night before the
boxes were put on board, and early the nexS morn
Ing they were opened. The members OF the crew
expected to have several days job in laying the
cement ballast" inside, and none were more sur
priSed than they when they found out that the
cement" was made up OF buckshot. The shot
was slowed away and afterward cement was placed
over it. 1t is packed solidly in the Volunteer.
1t was an original Idea with Gen. Paine, and yes
terday he enjoyed a good laugh when telling that
the cement" ballast had not been discovered be-
fore. The two tons of ballast were quite expen-
